If I read this correctly, this is a workaround for broken intermediaries (and maybe IE6 behind proxies). Do we really need to address this in the spec? And does it affect anything beyond Accept-Encoding? Are we sure that 406 is supposed to be about all "Accept-*" headers? Maybe a compromise would be to mention that some intermediaries are known to eat "Accept-Encoding", and thus origin servers can pick Content-Codings of their choice if they are sure the recipient will be able to process them.
